Seasonal Inspired Greatness
Forget your latte, scarfs, and cardigans, introduce the season this year by creating something special in your very own home. There is no better way to embrace the festive fall spirit than by cooking up these pumpkin white chocolate-chip waffles. Every bite is a blissful experience as the warm spice and creamy chocolate harmonize in your mouth.
Crispy Waffles
Getting your waffles to have that perfect crunch without over cooking them can be a daunting task. Thankfully, there are a few simple tricks that I use to achieve perfection every time. One of my secrets is corn starch. You will notice that my recipe calls for just over a 1/4 cup of corn starch in the batter. In addition to this, fluffing your egg whites before incorporating them into the batter will also help. Lastly, using a quality waffle iron cannot be overlooked. Personally, I use the Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic Waffle Maker (paid link). These little tweaks provide the ideal crunchy-soft waffle you need in your life.
Avoid Burnt Chocolate
White chocolate chips are easily burned in a waffle iron. To avoid this, I top the waffles with the chips right as I finish cooking them. The heat of the waffles is sufficient to melt them down. You could always melt the chocolate-chips and pour it over your waffles if you prefer!

These Pumpkin White Chocolate-Chip Waffles are the perfect way to bring fall to your breakfast table. Welcome the season with pumpkin, spice, and chocolate.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or greek yogurt)
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 eggs separated
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- white chocolate chips to top
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together buttermilk, oil, pumpkin, egg yolks and vanilla
- Using a hand mixer, whisk your egg whites and white sugar to soft peak (hold their shape but the peak flops over immediately when the beaters are lifted up.
- Begin heating your waffle iron. Mix together your dry ingredients with your wet. Gently fold in your whipped egg whites into your mix. You do not want to flatten down the air incorporated in them, it is okay if you see white speckled through the batter.
- Pour the batter onto the waffle iron and cook per waffle iron instructions. (A hot setting makes for a crispier waffle, lower setting makes a softer waffle)
- Immediately place chocolate chips on top of waffles so the heat allows them to melt. If you are making a lot of waffles, you can keep them warm in your oven on a sheet tray at 200 degrees F.
